Mine won't be up until tomorrow, but I wanted to say that my daughter and I loved this version of Pippi because of the illustrator.
Carol: I am too! My knowledge of Lauren Child is quite limited - a few episodes of Charlie and Lola and only one picture book, but I absolutely loved it. I think I spent more time looking at the pictures than reading the book!
I loved Pippi Longstocking when I was a kid! But this is not the pictures I remember at all!!! Must be a newer version! The cover and Pippi look all wrong to me!
